Answer 1

To solve the inequality 5x/9 < 8, let's multiply both sides of the inequality by 9 to eliminate the fraction:

(5x/9) * 9 < 8 * 9
5x < 72

Now, divide both sides of the inequality by 5:

(5x)/5 < 72/5
x < 14.4

So, the solution is x < 14.4.

In mixed number form, 14.4 can be written as 14 and 2/5. Therefore, the final answer is:

x < 14 and 2/5
